2 step buy-sell processes

Revision en1, by TunaMayoSandwich, 2024-07-25 19:39:36

In competitive programming one is often faced with the task to simulate what I call a "buy-sell" (or craft-melt) process where in the first step the player spends a certain amount of resources $$$a$$$ from his budget $$$n$$$ and in the second step he acquires $$$b$$$ units of the resource back by selling what he bought or crafted earlier where the relationship

$$$ n \geq a > b $$$

stands.
